A 330,000 square foot outlet mall will soon be springing up in Southaven.

Developers recently placed a sign at the northeast corner of Interstate 55 and Church Road announcing that "The Outlet Shops of the Mid-South" will be built there soon.

The company behind the new development, Poag Lifestyle Centers, also built the Shops at Saddle Creek in Germantown.

Bob Rogers, the company’s COO, told the Memphis Business Journal that Mid-Southerners should look forward to shopping at the new mall.

“We’ve been communicating with tenants for several months,” Rogers says. “We think it’s the top line-up as far as the outlet world. Most of the full-priced fashion retailers now have an outlet concept as well.”

Rogers wouldn’t name names, but said the company is going after “top lines.”

Exploding interest rates, reckless spending, 5-figure debt. For thousands of credit card users, the writing was on the wall.

Now, it appears they're ignoring the writing on their card statements.

Despite federal regulations passed two years ago that require card-issuers to print the toll-free numbers of credit counseling agencies on every credit card statement, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling said its member agencies have only received 150,000 calls generated from credit card statements.
